I'm too big to cry, yet here I have my tears
Here I have my faults, and here I have my fears
All laid before me, like one big giant mess
Reminding me how insecure I am, when this is all that’s left
I hold on to the hope, that there’s a better day
And though it still eludes me ,it’s going to come my way
But till that day I’ll sit ,drowning in mistakes
I’ll hold on even though I know, for me it’s just too late
I'm broken now I'm bleeding, and no strings can hold me in
I’ll smile at you pleading, that you’ll just forgive my sins
I too big to cry, too strong to feel this way
My smiles too bright to fake it, yet I die inside today
